What I did is here:
- start hald as described
- plug in USB stick, doesn't get recognized
- plug it out and plug it in again, it get's recognized

Funny: In the course of this, it mounted the stick a number of times. It only doesn't cause the mount points (in the GUI) to vanish. I'll attach a screenshot and the resulting fstab. Created attachment 104942 [details]

/etc/fstab
Only the mountpoint in /media/usbdisk3 has contents, the others are empty -- but they should be umounted and deleted from fstab. Another data point is that in the course of trying things, the device got first /dev/sda,m then sdb, sdc, now sdd. As we discussed on IRC last week, I've not fixed the issue with the very first hotplug event. Please try hal-0.4.0-2. Please see if it now works for you and if it does please close this bug. Thanks, David It works if I always remember to umount it before unplugging ;-). IN
fact I was a little surprised, when it umounted it automatically --
which worked for the first 2 times. The third time it didn't, I got a
lot of SCSI errors in the log and when trying to umount it manually I
got a pile of stuck processes:

BTW: Is there a way to give the device a more obvious mount point,
e.g. the old "/media/usbstick"?

If you can reproduce this with cleanly unmounting the device every time then please reopen this bug because I'm going to close it as RAWHIDE. > /media/409A-06C3/ .. > BTW: Is there a way to give the device a more obvious mount point, > e.g. the old "/media/usbstick"? Certainly. See the fstab-sync man page for details. Btw, I've changed the defaults to not use the UUID so it will be /media/usbdisk%d or something. If you put a label on the filesystem and it meets certain criteria this will be used instead. See bug 135907 for details. Thanks, David |
